(Hide a flask on your person, filled with the booze of your choice. One of those Texas belt buckle flasks will work well, because you probably won’t get harassed by undercover GOP operatives. One in the shape of the Empire State Building might not fare you so well)

– Take a shot for every hundred people who are already ahead of you on line. It’ll make the waiting fun!

– Take a shot when the said undercover operatives try to convince you that cops will arrest you for outstanding parking tickets when you try to vote. Also, punch them in the face.

– Take a shot when election officials tell you your signature doesn’t match perfectly, or that the spelling of your name is different on your ID than what they have on file. Also, cry a little.

– Down the rest of your booze when you finally get into the polling booth, all excited to plunk down your vote for liberty and justice, and… the machine eats your vote, changes your vote, or freezes up. Kick it repeatedly until it works, otherwise… continue to cry.

PART 2: SITTING AROUND WATCHING PUNDITS ALL DAY

If you’re home all day like me, you’re going to find that you can’t concentrate on getting any work done, because you will be flipping between news stations and refreshing every political website on the web. This is will drive you crazy… you should have a drink. Go buy yourself a 30 pack of cheap beer (or a case and a six pack, for those of you not fortunate enough to live in a state that sells canned beer in quantities of 30).

– Have a leisurely drink watching The View ladies pull each others hair out. This isn’t really part of the game, it’s just fun.

– Have a drink everytime Faux News suggests the possibility that John McCain can win, no matter how ridiculously early it is. Like…. noon.

– Hear the phrase “Joe The Plumber”? Chug that shit down. If it is about rumors of him banging Kirsten Wigg, poke out your eyes and start gagging. (Sanity prevails, apparently this ISN’T true)

– Take a drink everytime Keith Olbermann gets rowdy.

– Battleground upset? Shotgun a can of beer and start singing that state’s anthem.

– If the O’Reilly bot gets too overloaded with bullshit and actually explodes on camera, have a victory drink!

PART 3: THE FINAL RESULTS

Alright, you should be able to figure out how this goes.

– If Obama is the winner, crack open your best champagne and dance in the street with your neighbors. Victory! Hooray!

– If McCain wins, drink bottles of wine alone in your room until you pass out and can’t feel the pain anymore. Wake up the next morning feeling like shit, knowing we are in for four more years of war, wiretapping, lies, bullshit, and a crappy economy in the hole. Maybe it would be best to develop a drinking problem right now. (Editor’s note: you might want to grind up some Vicodin or something and take that shit to the dome)

DVD BONUS FEATURES:

While there appears to be a metric shit-ton of VP Debate drinking games floating around, I still wanted to contribute, so I took some of the best rules , threw in some of my own, and voila:

This game will require:

-Willingness on your part to get sloppy, retarded, ultra-turbo wasted during a VP debate.
-6 Pack of Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA (might be hard to find, but there should be some cases left over from September, if not, go with the 90 minute)[because the beer is from Delaware, get it?]*
-6 Pack of any Moosehead beer. (Because Sarah Palin likes to murder hunt moose)
-Cheap Vodka
-Jager, or something you can do shots of pretty well.
*These are really strong beers – 16-20% alcohol, be prepared to fuck up your Friday morning.

So the Dogfish is for Biden, the Moosehead is for Sally Governor Palin, or whatever.

Take a swig if either candidate says:

Change.

Washington.

Bush.

Blue-Collar.

Working Class.

Faith.

9/11.

Bridge to nowhere.

Take a shot if either candidate tells a boldface lie that can be easily disproved in 5 or fewer mouse clicks.

Biden Rules:

If he starts to tell the story about taking the train home every night, don’t stop drinking ’til he finishes, or whenever your beer is done.

Take a hefty sip if he mentions Scranton, PA.

Take a sip if he mentions McCain, Take a sip from your neighbor’s beer if he mentions McCain as his friend or good friend.

Mentions her family. Two sips if she mentions her husband by name. If she mentions her kids by name, take the number of sips corresponding to their number in the brood (1-Track, 2-Bristol, 3-Willow, 4-Piper, 5-Trig). Do a shot if she mentions that poor, dumb bastard Levi Johnson.

Take a shot if she mentions her son signing up for the Army on 9/11.

If Russia or Vladamir Putin are mentioned, take a shot of that vodka. (hell, make it a U-Boat, drop that shot of vodka into a short glass of orange soda) and then punch the person you’re sitting next to in the arm.

When she turns an honest question into a folksy story, don’t you dare put down that beer til she finishes!
